The Book of Troubled Times

Chapter 708 Tianshan Mountains in the Western Regions

Zhao Changhe didn't know whether he was old or young, why he changed from touching the other person's face to being comforted in her arms and feeling very comfortable and peaceful.

　　I always feel particularly safe around her. Although I used to be worried about her going out alone, and now I am obviously stronger than her, I somehow feel very safe in her arms.

 It’s strange, she’s not as big-minded as Sanniang, she’s only moderate.

 To say that I am old, perhaps it should be reflected in the fact that I am clearly leaning on my sister's warm embrace, but I don't have any evil thoughts at all.

Now I can be honest - when I saw her before, no matter how much I showed respect or said that I had no blasphemous intentions, deep down in my heart, if I said that I had no idea of ​​taking her to bed, it would definitely be a lie. Men all know this. …

 But now I really have no thoughts of blasphemy. I obviously wash my face with fragrance, but I don’t even have the slightest thought... Is it withered after it’s over...

 Or do we call this an old married couple, with the left hand holding the right hand? Zhao Changhe fell into deep confusion.

Yue Hongling didn't know that he was thinking about such meaningless things. She was still hugging him with her mother's name, and whispered: "I have been in secret realms in various places these days, and I have not seen the changes on the Troubled Times List. You are now Being so strong... must have suffered a lot."

Even a blind man wants to vomit, and he doesn’t know whether it’s because Zhuque’s mouth is bitter, Xia Chichi’s chest is bitter, or Cui Yuanyang’s delicate body is suffering? He ate quite a lot.

But then again, he is just really tired, and he is not pretending. As soon as Xia Longyuan lay down, the pressure on his shoulders was really great. It was so great that the blind man always doubted whether he and the shaky new court could hold on. At that time, the blind man also said that Xia Longyuan died too early and was not part of his plan.

As a result, this guy drove Wu Zui, slashed left and right, and was really shaken out of a relatively stable world. Now facing the entire Buddhist sect, he can be a tone-setter, which he dared not think of a month ago.

The key is that he must be calm in front of others and not show any weakness. However, if you think about it carefully, he is not even twenty-three. At this time, he has just graduated from college and is still looking for a job internship...

 It’s quite difficult... It’s nice to have a sister, it can soothe my nerves.

Zhao Changhe leaned in Yue Hongling's arms and muttered vaguely: "I'm not suffering at all... But you've been separated for half a year, and now you're in the third level of secret hiding. It's reasonable to have a lot of **** battles, but there has never been any news on the troubled times list. After all, where are you?" What did the Western Regions do? I want to hear the story."

Yue Hongling smiled and said, "Just now I felt that you were stealing my words and not letting me talk more to these monks."

"Of course, despite their honest faces, they must be wary of others. It's better for us to know some details ourselves." Zhao Changhe said lazily: "Especially my sister-in-law's private story, why should I tell them? ah…"

“As a poor person, the stories I tell you are not what you imagine. There is nothing you can’t say to others!”

"What have I imagined?" Zhao Changhe tilted his head slightly and buried his head in her arms: "Everyone is here with me, do I still need to imagine..."

Yue Hongling rubbed his head lovingly, letting him lie down more comfortably, and then said: "Anyway, although I have had many battles in the Western Region, I have never challenged the stronger people on the list. It is normal for my ranking to remain unchanged. The desert sands of the Western Region are vast, and the setting sun is setting in the west. Its meaning is infinite, and it cultivates the sword spirit, and the gains are not shallow. Of course, the real improvement is in the secret realm, and there will be battles that will not be recorded in the Troubled Times List."

Zhao Changhe secretly said that the blind man is a useless person. She can't see wherever there is space to cover it. How can he pretend to be a man of heaven?

Therefore, the "Buddha who can know the world" mentioned by Yuan Cheng does not exist at present. He is not even a blind man, let alone others.

What's more tragic is that Zhao Changhe obviously feels that he has no energy to think about anything serious and just wants to rest in his sister's arms. But now when he heard this, he subconsciously wanted to know more: "So you are fighting with the barbarians from the Western Regions?" Are there a lot of fights? But I didn’t see anyone related to the Western Regions on the Troubled Times list. How is the martial arts there?" "The Western Regions are actually people from the Northern Hu... but the tribes are different, just like the difference between the Vulture Tribe and the Batu Fighting Lion Tribe. Similarly, they all belong to the Northern Hu, but in fact many customs are not necessarily the same. Although there are strong people in the Western Regions, the list of troubled times is still based on the Hu people, and the Central Plains generally don't know much about them."

 “Tell me about the specific situation?”

The blind man just laughed angrily and said, "You are taking a rest. What are you doing?"

 You are not tired, who is tired?

Yue Hongling was replying: "It is a place where business gathers, but it is very chaotic. Horse bandits, thieves, and assassins are everywhere, and various tribes compete with each other and change the king's flag at any time. Generally, merchants must pay enough for protection before they can enter. Even so, people are often killed and robbed."

“Of course, once the king’s flag is changed, who will recognize the previous protection fee...”

"Anyway, when it comes to barbarism and killing, it's much heavier than that of China. I'm afraid only Saibei can compare..." Yue Hongling tilted her head and asked, "Is this martial style?"

"Forget it." Zhao Changhe said with a smile: "It's just that it's not the martial arts of Jianghu knights. Their brotherhood of thieves likes it best..."

"I didn't see Ying Wu's people there, but they definitely exist. Maybe it's the base camp. According to the common sense that there will be the strongest person occupying the most resources in every place, there will be no Tianban in the Western Region. Ying Wu It should be the incarnation of a local king, or one of the largest horse bandit forces."

Zhao Changhe hissed: "I can't tell..."

 Normally, I don’t feel that Ying Wu has this kind of nature, but now, it should be obvious that Yue Hongling’s judgment is correct.

Yue Hongling sighed: "Going out into the bigger world, I found more injustices. But I can't deal with it all with just the three-foot sword in my hand... After my experience in the past six months, I feel more and more that your path is the right one, and only the sword of the emperor can do it." , only then can this country be at peace and help more people.”

Zhao Changhe nodded in ecstasy. He was not thinking about this. Mainly I think this should still be similar to the Silk Road in my own concept, but there are differences. After all, the world is different, at least the races or sects are not so dazzling. Here they are all divided into different tribes in Beihu.

It can also be seen from this that, firstly, there are still countries similar to those in the Middle East, maybe more to the west; secondly, the commercial existence of the Silk Road has only been taken over by the Li family for a long time, and China has hardly benefited, and it has been completely swallowed up by the Li family. . Calculated in this way, the potential power of the Li family is greater than imagined, surpassing the Wang family, which has just begun to develop sea trade.

If you really want to learn about state governance, there are still many articles that can be written here. Lao Xia really doesn't know what the **** he is doing. If he doesn't learn anything else, Han Wu won't learn it either?

In addition... Zhao Changhe suddenly asked: "According to your description, in addition to Ying Wu, I feel that there is a high probability that the headquarters of Tingxue Tower is also there... It's just that the nature of Tingxue Tower is more secretive and will not openly occupy the mountain. The king occupies resources.”

"Yes, it was precisely because I discovered the traces of the Tingxuelou assassins doing business that I followed them to find their lair, and ended up entering Tianshan. Well, the local name is Tianshan, and in our concept it should be part of the Kunlun Mountains. ? It’s just that it’s very different from the Valley of the Wicked that we know.”

 “I know this.”

"When we arrived at Tianshan Mountain, it was even more vast than the snow-capped mountains we saw at that time. It was covered with heavy snow. It was extremely dangerous inside, and there were many weird things..." Yue Hongling said in a daze: "The first day I entered, I saw you."
